Del Monte Foods files for bankruptcy and will search for buyer
Del Monte Foods, whose canned vegetables and fruit have long been a staple on grocery store shelves, announced Monday that it has filed for bankruptcy and will seek a buyer. The nearly 140-year-old company is entering Chapter 11 proceedings as part of a restructuring support agreement (RSA) with its lenders. "After a thorough evaluation of all available options, we determined a court-supervised sale process is the most effective way to accelerate our turnaround and create a stronger and enduring Del Monte Foods," Greg Longstreet, president and CEO of Del Monte Foods, said in a statement. Del Monte did not immediately respond to CBS MoneyWatch's request for comment. The canned-goods producer, based in Walnut Creek, California, said it has secured a commitment for $912.5 billion from its lenders that will help fund the company throughout the going-concern sale process and allow it to continue operating. Del Monte has between $1 billion to $10 billion in both estimated liabilities, according to its court filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. The sale, the California-based company said in its statement, will involve "all or substantially all of the Company's assets." In its search for a new buyer, Del Monte said it would prioritize the highest or best offer. Changing consumer preferences Del Monte is the fourth company in the food & beverage sector to file for Chapter 11 according to data from Debtwire, a data analytics firm. "Generally, Del Monte says that consumer demand has declined, causing it to incur increased costs related to surplus inventory that it has had to warehouse and attempt to move off shelves with increased promotional spending," said Sarah Foss, global head of legal and restructuring at Debtwire, in an email to CBS MoneyWatch. "Consumer preferences have shifted away from preservative-laden canned food in favor of healthier alternatives," she added. The move follows a challenging few years for the company, which has issued layoffs and made efforts to downsize to cut costs. Del Monte last year started a debt overhaul, according to Bloomberg.

Troubling Malik Beasley debt details emerge with NBA star embroiled in gambling probe
Malik Beasley seems to be in some deep water. Amid a federal investigation into gambling allegations made earlier this week, it has now been revealed that the NBA free agent with nearly $60 million in contract earnings across his nine-year career is facing financial woes that include multiple debts and lawsuits against him. It was reported Tuesday that Beasley is being sued by his former marketing agency for failing to repay in full a $650,000 advance. Then, The Detroit News reported Tuesday evening the sharpshooter has incurred debts to a celebrity barber, a dentist, a landlord and a lender — all in addition to the New York-based marketing firm. Advertisement 4 Malik Beasley has had a troubled financial history in recent years. AP 'I have been with Malik for a long time, I have seen a lot of people around him come and go, but I have stayed away from any of his financial management or mismanagement or decisions he would make with money,' Steve Haney, Beasley's criminal defense lawyer, told The Detroit News. Haney, who said he doesn't 'get involved' in Beasley's finances, added: 'You hope to get them around the best business people and planners and management people. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.' Advertisement 4 Malik Beasley fumbled a pass with a chance to make a game-tying three against the Knicks in the playoffs. Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Detroit News reported that Beasley even pledged his current and future NBA contracts to a lending company, South River Capital LLC, which won a nearly $5.8 million judgment against Beasley — a copy of the judgment was filed in 2022 when Beasley was with the Timberwolves. Beasley's reasoning for borrowing money is unclear, though court records show that he paid back $1.3 million in early 2023. 'It is very common for professional athletes to go to third-party lenders and get advances on contracts. It's a part of the business of professional sports,' Haney said. 'Many of these lenders are predatory and charge extremely high interest rates and outrageous fees that border on usury.' Advertisement 4 Malik Beasley had a career year in Detroit and was primed for a contract extension. AP Beasley's other financial issues include being sued twice for failing to pay more than a combined $20,000 in rent at The Stott building in Detroit. In January, a celebrity barber serving many NBA players won a $26,827 judgment against Beasley. Elsewhere in January, a Minnesota dentist won a $34,390 default judgment against Beasley, and the dentist, Hassan Alshehabi of Delicate Smiles, started garnishing Beasley's paychecks from the Pistons the following month. Advertisement Beasley was likely going to sign a reported three-year, $42 million contract with Detroit before the gambling investigation put a wrench into those plans just a day before free agency opened. 4 Malik Beasley waving to the Madison Square Garden crowd after making a clutch three-pointer in a January game. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The 28-year-old made 319 3-pointers for the Pistons this past season, just one behind Anthony Edwards' league-leading 320. While the gambling investigation is fresh and ongoing, the evidence of Beasley's financial issues is growing.

Valeo Foods Group buys Italian panettone maker Melegatti 1894
Valeo Foods Group has announced another acquisition, snapping up Melegatti 1894, an Italian producer of panettone, pandoro, and croissants. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Dublin-based Valeo Foods Group said the deal is in line with its strategy to 'expand its baked sweet treats portfolio', enabling it to offer 'authentic Italian confections and established regional brands to a wider international audience'. The acquisition is the second Valeo Foods Group has announced in Italy in a matter of weeks. In May, the company expanded its Italian presence by acquiring Freddi Dolciaria, a business known for pre-packaged sponge cakes and Swiss rolls. In 2024, it purchased Italian bakery Dal Colle. Ronald Kers, the CEO of Valeo Foods Group, said the move for Melegatti 1894 will bolster the company's 'presence in south-west Europe and open new avenues for growth across our global network'. Founded in 1894 by Domenico Melegatti, who is said to have created and patented the original pandoro that same year, Melegatti 1894 boasts a history spanning over 130 years. Its production facilities are located in San Giovanni Lupatoto and San Martino Buon Albergo, both in Verona. Roberto Spezzapria, the president of Melegatti 1894, said: 'Following the successful relaunch of the historic Melegatti brand in the Italian market, we are proud to entrust its future to the experience and expertise of Valeo Foods Group. 'We are confident that Valeo Foods will guide the brand into its next phase of international growth, while further strengthening its value and honouring its deep roots in Italian culture.' Backed by Bain Capital, Valeo Foods Group owns brands including Balconi cakes, Pedro confectionery and Kettle Chips. The company, which generates revenues exceeding €1.8bn ($2.12bn), employs nearly 6,000 people across 30 facilities in the UK, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands.
